Mark Bacino is a Pop Underground favourite whose music (featured in three albums – Pop Job, The Million Dollar Milkshake and Queens English) gets mentioned whenever rock journalists need to define the best power pop music out there. We talked to Bacino about the past (his acclaimed music), the present (his new single, “Not That Guy”) and the future…

As regular visitors would be aware, there is so much good NEW music out there that we want you to discover but there’s only so much time for us to make you cognisant of what we call THE NEW ROCK N ROLL.

In addition, we wanted to provide a showcase where our readers could support bands/artists selling their music at Bandcamp. Thus, here’s the Bandcamp edition of The Listening Booth, which we hope will be a regular PoP feature as well. Do let us know what you think over at https://www.facebook.com/powerofpop/. Enjoy!!

The Hard Rock Cafe is renowned worldwide as a prestigious theme restaurant that celebrates rock ‘n’ roll and it’s pleasing to note that since it’s recent relaunch with renovated premises at the HPL House at Cuscaden Road, it has initiated two regular events that showcase original music in Singapore.
